    Summary

    “Why did you say it?” Ben asked quietly.

    This was one of the things that had changed about the General. He no longer minced words. He was so hopelessly honest now, so flayed raw that it almost hurt to look at. He spoke like a man who knew you were about to leave him; who needed to get everything out in the open before you were gone.

    Cody rolled onto his back, staring at the ceiling as he searched for words to fill the hole that they had, up until tonight, both been so politely ignoring.

    Why did he say it? Why did he love him?

    It was like being asked why the planet turned. There was an answer, surely, but it was too massive to hold in his mouth.

    He shrugged, as best he could whilst lying down. “For all the usual reasons, I guess.”
